• A Traveller's History of Turkey - Richard Stoneman
  • June 2019
  • Don't know anything about Anatolian History? Do you want to read Anatolian history through a non-Turkish perspective. This is the book for you.
• Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
  • May 2019
  • A great contrast to 1984. I think this book and 1984 should be read consecutively.
• Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar - Thomas Cathcart, Daniel Klein
  • March 2019
  • Extremely fun to read book with a broad overview and introduction of different philosphical concepts
• The Old Man and The Sea - Ernest Hemingway
  • March 2019
  • A short read, but with many memorable quotes.
  • “Don’t be silly,” he said aloud. “And keep awake and steer. You may have luck yet”
    “I would like to buy some if there’s any place they sell it.” he said
    What could I buy it with? he added himself. “Could I buy it with a lost harpoon and a broken knife and two bad hands?””
    “You might.” he said. “You tried to buy it with eighty-four days at sea. They nearly sold it to you too.”
    
• Why I Write - George Orwell
  • December 2018
  • I dont think it is possible for George Orwell to write a bad book. A great read that provides more insight to his later writing
